This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in their work, values punctuality, and enjoys the independence of being on the road. Our client is a well-established logistics and distribution company operating throughout the South West, known for their commitment to quality service and their investment in reliable staff.

We understand the local transport and logistics landscape intimately, ensuring you are connected with reputable companies that value their drivers. This is more than just a driving job; it's a chance to secure regular, paid work with a supportive agency behind you.
Key Responsibilities
- Safely and efficiently driving a company van (up to 3.5 tonnes) on designated routes throughout Swindon and the surrounding Wiltshire region.
- Loading and unloading goods, ensuring all items are secured correctly for transit and delivered in perfect condition.
- Completing multi-drop deliveries to both commercial and residential addresses, adhering to strict delivery windows and timeframes.
- Conducting daily vehicle checks (pre-start checks), reporting any defects or maintenance issues promptly to the transport office.
- Accurately completing delivery paperwork, PODs (Proof of Delivery), and using handheld tracking devices to update the delivery status in real-time.
What We're Looking For
- A full, valid UK driving licence (Category B) with a maximum of 6 penalty points and a clean driving record is essential.
- Proven experience as a Van Driver, with familiarity of Swindon SN1 and local road networks being a significant advantage.
- A strong focus on safety, customer service, and timekeeping. You must be physically fit for manual handling tasks.
- Excellent communication skills, a professional attitude, and the right to work in the UK. A digital tachograph card is beneficial but not essential as training can be provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Van Driver job in Swindon?
We are recruiting for an immediate start. Once you apply and successfully complete our quick registration process (which includes right-to-work and licence checks), we can often place you with a client within 24-72 hours. The speed depends on your availability and how quickly we can process your documents.
What kind of van will I be driving?
The primary vehicle for this role is a standard 3.5-tonne van, such as a Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, or similar panelled van. You will only be required to drive vehicles you are licensed and confident to operate. Some local roles may involve smaller car-derived vans.
Do I need my own van or insurance?
No. This is an agency driver position where you will be driving a company-provided vehicle. All vehicle insurance, maintenance, and fuel costs are covered by the employer. You only need your valid Category B driving licence.
Is there the potential for permanent work?
Absolutely. Many of our temporary driving assignments, including this one, are temp-to-perm. This means if you perform well, are reliable, and the client has an ongoing need, they will often offer a direct permanent contract. We see this happen frequently and actively support our drivers in securing long-term positions.
How and when do I get paid?
Staffing Service pays all our agency workers weekly. You will submit your timesheet, and payment is made directly into your bank account. We pride ourselves on accurate and timely payments every week. Your pay rate will be clearly agreed upon before you start any assignment.
Can I apply if I have points on my licence?
This depends on the number and type of points. Most clients will accept drivers with up to 6 penalty points for minor offences (e.g., speeding). However, endorsements for serious offences like DR10 (drink driving) or DD40 (dangerous driving) are typically not accepted. Be transparent about your licence history during application so we can advise you accurately.
